Hello! 27F based in Devon looking for some good connections/conversations!

I enjoy anything creative, as well as building Lego, reading, going to gigs, getting tattooed and researching random topics to be the best at a pub quiz tbh. I graduated with a degree in psychology years ago but no, that does not mean I can read your mind.

I’m your typical nerdy alt/goth woman. I love metal/rock/punk music, but also have a big love for dnb too AND musical theatre, so a real mixed bag.

I have a dog and 2 cats who I’m a bit obsessed with as well.

Feel free to send me a message if it sounds like we’d get on!

Pretty bored lately and looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine friends. Feels like I’ve ended up stuck in the cycle of just work and home all the time and honestly miss actually going out and enjoying life a bit more.

Life feels like a bit of a mess lately if I’m honest. I already feel like an old man already and like I’ve not really lived much or experienced enough. They say the best days of your life are in your 20s but I honestly don’t really feel there at the moment. Never really had love or a proper relationship either, so I think I’ve ended up feeling a bit stuck in life socially. Just want to get out more, try some new things, have a laugh and find some people to chill with instead of sitting indoors all the time.

Would be nice to chat to people around my age, but happy to talk to anyone really. I’m pretty easy going and down to earth. Happy to just chat online first or maybe meet up at some point if we get on.

Hello, as above, where is a good place to buy some silver jewellery for men? I'm looking at buying some rings and maybe a chain. No wedding bands, these are strictly fashion pieces.

I’m too far away to hear if it’s a helicopter but there’s been a light going back and forth over the bay for the last 20 minutes. Can anyone make out what it is?

Hello Devonians, a friendly Grockle in peace from neighbouring Brizzle.

I’m staying locally in Barnstaple next weekend and hoping someone can recommend me a pub. I’m after somewhere that does a good roast dinner but also shows the football for the Sunday Premier League finale. Happy to go further afield to Woolacombe or Ilfracombe for suitable suggestions.

Any help is appreciated. Will also post in the Barnstaple subreddit but it’s not highly visited to thought I’d post here.

can be any cuisine (:

my fav is The Elephant, in Torquay. it’s REALLY amazing but they have way too much fish on their menu to my taste. i do like fish but i like steak more and they usually have only 1 or 2 options ):

we moved from London in july. my bf is actually used to here (it’s a small town called south brent, he grew up here). i just don’t like the lack of things to do, the peace and etc. i miss having some fun. we recently opened our relationship, so at least we can go to some more parties now, which i was really missing, but i’m asking about some more innocent type of fun. we LOVE escape rooms but we did all of them in plymouth and exeter already, which are the nearest cities. i LOVE karaoke (he is kinda shy but he enjoys too), but my favorite style of karaoke is that one on the stage where a band plays for you to sing and idk any here like that. we also love board games. we saw this place in plymouth called Twist Board Game Cafe Bar but we didn’t go yet, it’s on my list. i also love bowling and basically anything else that doesn’t involve sun.

it doesn’t need to be here in the south, it could be anywhere in devon i guess.

ah, i don’t drink alcohol hahah

Hi all! Im a 25/M, currently living on Oxfordshire. I have a decent job doing tree work and have years of grounds maintenance and gardening experience. I’ve recently gone through an incredibly painful break up with a long term partner, that has really given me a meaning/identity crisis. I’m alone in Oxfordshire, all my family are in Dawlish. I’m wondering what the Market is like in the Dawlish area for gardeners? I have the option to move in with my parents and am considering using that as an opportunity to go self employed. Would be interested to hear from people who are more familiar with the area, what’s the demand like for this type of work? Are there a lot of gardeners/landscapers in the area? TIA!

Hello! I (23f) just got a job offer, that I completely cannot refuse in Torquay! I’m looking for advice on the best places to move to (i.e.. what areas of Torquay are the safest), what landlords are like, how quickly the rental market moves and what the parking situation is like. I know literally nobody down there so I would really appreciate pragmatic advice on these areas. I currently live in Glasgow, and from some sub-reddit stalking I’ve seen a lot of people complain about drug related anti-social behaviour etc., whilst I’m keen to live in a safer area, I was wondering how bad it is compared to somewhere like Glasgow? Furthermore, I was also wondering if anybody had any recommendations on how to make friends (preferably female and my age), in or around Torquay / wider Devon, good coffee shops and pubs etc (I’m used to my Glasgow comforts), and beautiful places for days out (such as beaches or hikes). Thank you so much in advance for any help/ tips, I really would like some!

 

Bag?
